Cruising past gateway

Gateway

Iam off on a cruise now tra-la-la-la-la.I love the architecture of the Old Taj seen to the left of the Gateway in this picture.The new Taj(only top seen) is just a plain stupid cuboidal structure.Old is definitely gold!

Priceless purchase!



It's interesting how shopping carts in Apna Bazaar serve a variety of purposes!

Say cheeeez

I wanted only the innocent and blissfully smiling kid to remain and the boring adults and chairs [both equally lifeless:) ] to go.So 'smudged' em all off.

Sculpture

gita shibir 024

Workshop models were such a pain to carve to the precise shape and size specified. If I had been even one hundredth as good as the sculptor who carved this statue, I would've been spared from starring in the drama of pretending to swoon during workshop classes,so that the attender would do all my workshop models for me!

Illusion

Pleats

Position the picture on your screen so that only a small portion of the top portion of the pic is seen.Now concentrate on the tip of the green blades and scroll the page up and down through the entire height of the pic.I love the effect!It reminds of those folding fans that they use to decorate Ganesha idols.

Luuuv

Love

She might be fat, old and ugly, having lost her youthful charm.She might've grown physically and mentally weak, dependent and unable to walk the roads of life all by herself anymore.Despite her state, he never lets go of her.In this dark, dingy railway station,he clasps her hand firmly with a comforting grip of his hand, doesn't budge an inch until she too can and helps her walk along right beside him.That's what I call love!Santa, are you listening?Now you know what to gift me with this Christmas :)

Vikram Sarabhai

Vikram Sarabhai

Vikram Sarabhai looks fairly real on the first look, doesn't he?This is a snap of his snap put up in the IIMA subway.Only the guy on the extreme right is real.Lousy shot in terms of haziness though :(
